How can I permanently remove the boot option "quiet splash"?

When booting, I'd like to see the kernel output without having to edit the GRUB line on each boot. How can I do that?

    Open a terminal and type the following:

    sudo  gedit /etc/default/grub

    Then look for a line like this in the opened file:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    It may have other options there as well, but just remove quiet splash and:

    sudo update-grub

  2. Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and issue the following command 

    pkexec gedit /etc/default/grub

    or

    sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub

    I assume here that gedit is installed on your system, if you prefer another editor use the appropriate name (e.g. leafpad, kate...etc).

    Search, find and edit the line 

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    to

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

    proofread, save the document and then run in terminal 

    sudo update-grub

  3. It's in /etc/default/grub. Make your changes there and update grub with sudo update-grub
